Infrastructure work to improve drainage and traffic safety
North and south drainage lines will be ditched at two to three block intervals to carry surface water. Open laterals will appear at some crossings and a car traveling 20 miles per hour may jolt, potentially drawing attention to speed laws.

Mrs. Elmer Kahl returns from Wheatland Wyoming for high school graduation where daughter Marjorie participates. The family plans to return after commencement.
